# of Years Coaching:

Coaching and leading classes as long as I can remember!

​

Favorite thing about riding at the Barn:

Riding with others who LOVE being outside and appreciate the joy of being out on a bike.

​

Favorite splurge food/treat:

Dark Chocolate, but it is really more of a staple :)!! Zanzibar Dark Chocolate Ice Cream from Wedl's in Jefferson.  That is more of a treat!

​

Favorite race:

Ironman World Championship in Kona X2. One of my mantras during the race was to embrace the experience.  I truly felt I did that because I feel it often when out on my bike riding by myself.

​

What are you doing when not on your bike?

Picked up a new hobby when I got Remi our Brittnay Spaniel and now go bird hunting with my husband John and our 2 dogs Rex and Remi.  Not a great shot, yet ... but I am working on it :). Cross Country Skiing is my winter thing and spending time at our cabin in Clam Lake.
